#Putin's #Russia is STILL *indiscrimately* lobbing missiles & #drones at #Ukraine — at civilians' homes + non- #military targets
It's STILL a 100% unprovoked #war
And for what?
- ZERO benefit for ordinary #Russians
- result: a pariah state for generations

The right hate the BBC for its committment to truthfulness. It's our patriotic duty to defend our national broadcaster from Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg and all the others who want their warped world view to dominate.

Yes we've all felt immensely pissed off with the BBC from time to time
But it's clear that the attacks on it come from fascists and proto-fascists who want to shut down our powerful public-service broadcaster
For the sake of democracy we all need to defend the BBC as an institution

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.
We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

The BBC isn't perfect. But it remains an institution defending British values against a populist, Trump-style takeover.
Party leaders must unite to defend it.
